I “In Nil my decisions, I have done what I thought was right on the evidence as presented before me” he declared. “I have tried to be fair not only to the state but to the defendant.” The courts, Judge Strickland be lieves, are primarily for reforma tion rather than for punishment, and he believes that if there is a chance to rehabilitate the defend ant and make him a good citizen, the community is better benefited than if he is sent to the roads. “It is not a matter of being easy on the defendant," Judge Strick land declared, “by suspending a sentence or continuing prayer for judgment, the defendant is placed under restraint and if he continues in law violation he serves the time for the accumulation of convict ions.” Although he is dry personally, Judge Strickland admits to a cer tain amount of sympathy with al coholics who appear before him re peatedly. who are unable to con trol their craving for alcohol. “I don’t know what the answer is,” he declared, “but I do not feel that sending such men to the road and depriving their families of such support ts they may give them, does any real good. They return from the road and take un their habit right where they left off.” HAS SERVED SINCE 1943 Judge Strickland has held the City Court bench since his appoint ment March 15, 1948. to fill the unexpired term of J.
